I am looking at a Kahler metric $g$ on a certain manifold $M$, which has the good taste to be invariant under a transitive group of isometries, and I want to say something about its holomorphic sectional curvature.
Now, I can calculate the curvature tensor $R$ of $g$ explicitly at the center of a holomorphic coordinate system. If $(X_1, \ldots, X_n)$ is an orthonormal frame of tangent vectors at a given point, then the entries of the tensor are of the form
$$ R_{j \overline k l \overline m} := R(X_j, \overline X_k, X_l, \overline X_m) = \text{term 1} \cdot \text{term 2} - \text{term 3} $$
where the terms are sums of Kronecker deltas in $j$, $k$, $l$ and $m$. So if $X = \sum_j a_j X_j$ is a holomorphic tangent vector, which we may assume is of unit norm, the holomorphic sectional curvature in the direction of $X$ is
$$ H(X) = \sum_{j,k,l,m} a_j \overline a_k a_l \overline a_m R_{j \overline k l \overline m}. $$
This is where the pain begins. So far I haven't been able to make any sense of the herd of Kronecker deltas which comes out (except in exceptional cases, like for $R_{j \overline j k \overline k}$), and I'd be quite happy if I could just let a computer work the damn thing out for me.
Question: Is there software that calculates this sort of thing? Or is there a language particularily well adapted to hacking out a script that will calculate this?
